Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow. Familiar to many from the Spider-Verse films, Peni Parker is a ramp card with a unique twist.
Understanding Peni Parker in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker (2 cost, 3 power) has the ability: "On Reveal: Add SP//dr to your hand. When this merges, you get +1 Energy next turn."
SP//dr (3 cost, 3 power) has the ability: "On Reveal: Merge with one of your cards here. You can move that card next turn."
This combination can be initially confusing. Essentially, Peni Parker adds SP//dr to your hand, allowing you to move a card on the board. Crucially, merging any card with Peni Parker grants +1 energy for your next turn. This isn't limited to SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also trigger this bonus. The SP//dr movement ability is a one-time effect, active only the turn after merging.
Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker's effectiveness takes time to master. While the 5-energy cost for the merge and extra energy is significant, she synergizes well with certain cards, particularly Wiccan. Here are two example decks:
Deck 1 (Wiccan Synergy):
Quicksilver, Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Peni Parker, Quake, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Red Guardian, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth.
This deck is flexible, allowing substitutions based on your meta and collection. The core strategy involves playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye/Kate Bishop or Peni Parker) to set up Wiccan's effect.
Deck 2 (Scream Move Strategy):
Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, Magneto.
This deck manipulates opponent's cards, leveraging Kraven and Scream to control lanes. Peni Parker's merge allows for playing both Alioth and Magneto in a single game. This deck requires advanced strategic planning.
Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?
Currently, Peni Parker's value is debatable. While a generally strong card, she may not be impactful enough in the current Marvel Snap meta to justify immediate investment with Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys. Her effectiveness will likely increase as the game evolves.
